"I found a new obsession with this author because of this book. He's right up my alley. "
Madelyn Pena
"Fragile Things is an excellent collection of short stories (including an American Gods story) and poetry. Unlike most short story collections I've read, this one has many more hits than misses. There were only a few pieces that I didn't really enjoy. I'd definitely recommend this one."

"More gripping short stories from Neil Gaiman. Some of these stories I really like and some I'm not as fond of, but they're always at the very least interesting tales."
John Detrick
"This was another amazing read. Everything just seems more beautiful when he writes about it. I was entranced and enchanted. I don't even care much for poetry, but some of the poems in this collection were stunning. One of only a few books I'd read again."
